After several sessions of obedience school Haillee and Kirby were pronounced "Most Congenial" by classmates at the Santa Clara School for Dogs.

"They are the most amazing and intelligent animals I have ever had the pleasure to instruct," said their teacher, Kris. "I only wish all dogs took to obedience as intuitively." She added that the sterling stewardship by Dan and Tara enhanced the two young Corgis performances. Kirby and Haillee have leapt from level to level in the school, and are now working towards their black belts in obedience. "It takes concentration, to succeed" said Haillee, "and also cheese."
